in a blackberry vibe

Where I'm from, blackberries are berries that grow on vines/bushes. Mike and I visited with Gabbi, Pansy, and O'Pea at their Mountain City, TN home today. Here they are pictured with their Mama, Donna. The goats are nibbling on her blackberry vines.

Pansy talking to her Daddy, Greg.

Donna shows me how large her blackberries are, and they're good too.

Mike eating the blackberries.

Pansy's dark black has turned to a chocolate color. Pansy has her own blog:

Gabbi is due with Bordeaux babies on Sept 17th. She is already exhibiting a very nice udder.
